We have a “deep bench” of expertise in musculoskeletal imaging, which is integral for pain management, diagnosis, and treatment of sports-related injuries. Individuals benefit from the same level of professionalism and quality we extend to many professional, amateur, and collegiate teams.
Some Sports Imaging Procedures Include:
X-ray is the oldest and most economical form of medical imaging. During the procedure, radiation passes through the body onto “film” (now digitized and displayed on a computer screen). In neuroimaging, spinal X-rays are used to assess for the degree of spinal motion with flexion or extension.
A three phase bone scan is a nuclear medicine test that uses radiotracers, which are injected. The radiotracers are detected by a special camera to provide pictures to diagnose a fracture when it cannot be seen on an X-Ray. It is also used to diagnose bone infection, bone pain, osteomyelitis, and other bone diseases.
